26. “Bhikkhus, whoever works to conceal his misdeeds by keeping them secret and hidden, should expect one of these two destinations once the body breaks down: either rebirth into the terrible realms of hell, or rebirth into the animal realm.

“In contrast, Bhikkhus, whoever does not conceal his misdeeds nor keeps them secret and hidden, should expect one of these two destinations once the body breaks down: either rebirth into the heavenly realms of delight and happiness, or rebirth into the human realm.”
